Hey - welcome to the forum. I've grown to love small cars, too.

But I still remember feeling somewhat ... well, let's say I had a "heightened sense of awareness" when I picked up Firefly #1 and drove it home across the top of Toronto on North America's busiest freeway. I downsized from an '89 Accord to that car and haven't looked back.

Now when I get in a car like a Camry I think, man this is MASSIVE! Minivans feel gargantuan.

I'd still like to try a Smart car. Haven't had the pleasure yet....
